More interesting facts about Pathologic 2:

• The story of the deadly plague unfolds in only 12 days — not enough to save everyone
• With a combination of survival and RPG elements, at its core Pathologic is a story-driven game full of questionable choices and grey morale topics
• Unique approach to death: each time you die, it takes a permanent toll on your character and the town — and consequences cannot be undone even by loading previous saves
